Job Descriptions
SWVEMS makes every effort to create and maintain accurate job descriptions for all positions within the EMS Council. Each description may include include a job information section, a job summary section (giving a general overview of the job's purpose), an essential duties and responsibilities section, a supervisory responsibilities section, a qualifications section (including education and/or experience, language skills, mathematical skills, reasoning ability, and any certification required), a physical demands section, and a work environment section. The form and content of Council job descriptions is determined by management.
SWVEMS maintains job descriptions to aid in orienting new employees to their jobs, identifying the requirements of each position, establishing hiring criteria, setting standards for employee performance evaluations, and establishing a basis for making reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities.
The Executive Director and the hiring manager prepare job descriptions when new positions are created. Existing job descriptions are also reviewed and revised in order to ensure that they are up to date. Job descriptions may also be rewritten periodically to reflect any changes in the position's duties and responsibilities. Because of the dynamic nature of our business, management reserves the right the revise job descriptions as necessary to meet corporate objectives. All employees are expected to help ensure that their job descriptions are accurate and current, reflecting the work actually being performed. Suggested changes in job descriptions should be submitted to the Executive Director for review.
Employees should remember that job descriptions do not necessarily cover every task or duty that might be assigned, and that additional responsibilities may be assigned as necessary. Failure or refusal to perform any assignment constitutes insubordination and may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. Contact the Executive Director if you have any questions or concerns about your job description.
